What do you mean by sprinkles. Is it colored sugar? When you say sprinkles I think of the little tiny candies that are rectangular shaped.

Hi Julia,
Shortbread bites can be decorated according to the occasion. I´ve used green and red sprinkles, since Christmas is coming. You can sprinkle them with chopped nuts, chocolate sprinkles, candy cane crumbs, M&Ms…. I leave that to you, use your imagination and be creative :-)
Regards!
